✦ Synopsis


Est-ce le ciel ou la forêt ? Un fourmillement frémit à la limite de son champ de conscience, sensation familière associée au danger. Il se redresse à demi et s’empare de son fusil. Ses oreilles bourdonnent. L’œil à la lunette, il fait défiler différents modes de vision. Au-delà de l’espace délimité par l’ouverture de l’abri s’étend la forêt. Et au milieu, bien droit sous la pluie, un robot solitaire. Il n’a pas d’arme et se contente de regarder Syn dans les yeux. C’est l’histoire de Syn, un trappeur accompagné de son loup au pelage greffé de bandes synthétiques, dans un monde de ruines technologiques. La menace est partout, une guerre se déclare mais Syn ne veut plus tuer ses semblables... Seule la science-fiction peut nous donner ce vertige d’être des archéologues du futur. Dans une langue raffinée, Vincent Gessler réussit son pari de nous envoûter par son récit âpre et exaltant de l’éternelle recherche des origines. Prix Utopiales 2010. Prix Julia Verlanger 2010.
